Gene Therapy Reverses Heart Failure in Pig Trials
TUESDAY, Dec. 10, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Failing hearts nearly returned to full function in laboratory pigs after they received an experimental gene therapy. New research shows the gene therapy didn’t just prevent heart failure from worsening in four lab pigs, but actually prompted hearts to repair and grow stronger.
Heart failure is reversed with new gene therapy in animal study: ‘Unprecedented recovery’
Heart failure has historically been irreversible, but a new study suggests that could change. At the University of Utah, scientists used a new gene therapy that reversed heart failure in animals.
New gene therapy found to reverse heart failure effects in large animals
Researchers found a genetic therapy that could be used to reverse heart failure. A recent study found that it worked on large animals.
Cure for heart failure on horizon after scientists cure pigs with gene therapy
A cure for heart failure could be on the horizon after scientists inserted a gene into ailing pigs, allowing their hearts to pump blood at normal levels again. Researchers at the University of Utah want to begin human trials next year,
New gene therapy reverses heart failure in large animal model
In a single IV injection, a gene therapy targeting cBIN1 can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves survival.
